Can anyone provide a link or image file of the sheet music for The Yellow Bittern? In d preferably. Could work with abc transcription if necessary.

Pat;
Thanks, this will do for starters! Heard a nice version of this tune sung by Danny McGinley on his one and only album (the singing much better than the piping).

I also found this on Thomas Johnson’s website http://w1.461.telia.com/~u46103557/uilleann.html , examples of recordings:

Bonnín buí
see even:
Buinneán buí
Yellow bittern (Lees, Watkin Trip over the mountain) (McNamara, Brian: Piper’s dream) (New dawn: Mikie Smyth)

Good luck,

Patrick.

Danny McGinley’s album…are you and I the only two people in the world with copies of this one??

I picked it up several years ago based on its cover alone…a guy holding a set of pipes…

and listened to it once. Perhaps I should give it another spin.
